One way to do this guy:

1) Let the warrior pull.2) DPS will take down the first 4 non-elite basilisks which spawn, while the warrior builds more aggro on Antu'sul.3) After the 4 non-elites are dead, the DPS will go all out on Antu'sul.4) Tank, still with Antu'sul hitting him, will try and get as many elite basilisks on him as possible. Keeping them off the healer is main priority.5) DPS kills Antu'sul6) Hunter argues that whatever dropped HAS to be hunterloot.

What is the general recommended level for entering this instance? Could i.e. a level 43 shaman survive in the field?

Comment by avalanche

If a hunter or warlock sends their pet at him and pulls him out of the cave, the first wave of non-elite basilisks will not spawn.

Comment by Mala09

just adding to Sidewalk's previous comment: the tank should always pull, due to the fact he should get the first melee hit to build aggro. I as a tank, see that if the hunter or others pull him i had a harder time (at 48) too keep aggro on him if of course someone HAS to dot him so i cant build up aggro.DONT be a douche, leave the pulling to the tanks for this one.

and then the rogue should ninja the sword as a few have done when i wanted Sul'Thraze.

How to avoid the first pack of non elites in 2.4.2

The four none elites are spawned when you engage the cave, not when you engage Antu'sul.

By jumping up on the cluster of rocks on the right side of the cave entrance will make Antu'sul evade, taking the adds with him back in to the cave. The adds will now despawn after 60 seconds, making your group able to engage him with out having to deal with the first wave of adds.

This method can be applied to the rest of the adds as well after Antu'sul is dead.

He has most pimpest weapon...(mini-totem)

Comment by Groundlord

His Healing Wards and Earthgrab totems need to be destroyed ASAP when he puts them down. You don't want the adds getting healed, and the Earthgrab Totems will root you about every 3 seconds, usually only giving you about 1 second of movement between each rooting.It's also a good idea to focus on HIM, not the adds (at least after the non-Elites that spawn when he aggros). He'll keep spawning more until you take him out, so focusing on the adds is just going to waste your time.

Comment by drwee22

Walking near the cave causes this guy to spawn his adds, and run out of the cave after anyone. I tried this as a 45 rogue solo, on a pickpocket run. I got greedy and wanted to see what I could pickpocket off this guy. He had 1 silver, 61 copper. The catch is, even if your in stealth, he can still "see" you. He will chase you, until he catches you and breaks your stealth. You can still use Distraction to slow him up which you stealth-run to the entrance. Just a heads up. Unless you plan on killing him, don't go close.

Comment by Shapeman

and it should be noted that when he gets low on health the first time he will use a spell called the healing wave of antu'sul so that if he is at 10% it heals him back to 30%.After that he he just uses flash heals that must be interrupted to kill him fast enough so that u can kill him before u get too many basilisks.

and note that how is it posible that ive done zf just for antu'sul like 15 times and The hand of antu'sul never dropped once and 2 sang'thrazes dropped. and i wanted one for my shammy

EDIT: Since then i have gotten the hand of antu'sul since and repalced it with ripsaw/Bonesnapper combo with bonesnapper MH. also to note that it depends how long the fight goes for him to use healing wave of antu'sul

Comment by watsonica

I went with a group of almost 50s (we all dinged 50 off quests) and this fight was easy. No strategy involved except clearing the area beforehand. If you ask the priest, he'll say it was all his doing.

In fact, we did all of ZF with that strategy, and the gear was still good, as were the quests.

Comment by Astalis

I needed the sword as i got the other one a few levels previous, couldn't be bothered grouping the hole instance just for the 1st boss, and with kinda decent ret gear, i decided to try to solo up to and kill him at level 55, getting to him was a lot easier than i thought it'd be. Boss himself is tricky though.

Just make sure u consecrate the 1st wave of non-elites then bubble when u have the boss + 3 elites on you and burn him down.

My 2nd sword droped on the 2nd kill :D

Happy hunting !

Comment by luminorne

Hey i'm just curious would a level 50 combat spec rogue (well geared!) with pots and buffs be able to take this guy? dont care bout dieing just kill die rez loot ?

Comment by HenryGold

on this guy well around the area there are some broken pillar fragments if u stand ont he right one in the right place then you will become un attackable by the mobs especialy useful if your the healer or you are a ranged dps be aware that it is a bug and the mobs that those standing on the pillar have aggroe of will become immune to make them attackable again just hop off so your tank can aggroe them (best to do this after the boss himself is downed).

Comment by Spencter

Most people kill this guy for the sword he drops, which combines with it's brother sword to make an epic, which requires level 50 to use. And Oh my god. I have been counting how many tries I have gone in to get this sword. I recently finished my 52nd try. I was lucky enough to get the other part of the sword off of the boss during a regular run, but for god's sake, I CAN NOT GET THE OTHER ONE! If your in the same situation as me, and it WILL NOT DROP, than my advice is simply this, don't spend so much time running through it in a group, get a high level to help you, once it doesn't drop (lol) run out, and reset.

Comment by Pytheas

Farming this guy for the mace. Better suited to a Tauren I admit but nothing says Shammy like a totem on a stick.

Comment by Saucery

during vanilla WoW i used this Troll to "Troll" newer players that asked me where i got my perdition blade, i would go into a lengthy story about how i did some quest line that involved 200 hours of gameplay and 50k worth of mats and a rare drop from antu -_- mostly everyone believed it as i was the only one with a perdition blade on the server and i would see people trying to farm him for it -_-
